Good, we’ll need the kids in the fields picking crops and the slaughterhouses processing meat when he kicks out all the migrants out.
I doubt he’ll actually kick that many immigrants out. Despite the rhetoric of the capitalist class, they actually want able-bodied immigrants, because they can exploit the hell out of their labor. The immigration rhetoric is largely kayfabe.
I think it's the same with the tariffs. In fact, I think it's the same with everything he promises. He'll do a token amount of each horrible thing before he gets bored of it or it becomes obviously impractical (see: wall building).
Mostly he'll just make everything slightly worse and do a lot of corruption for him and his friends. Just a little light kleptocracy.
The tariffs might be real, whichever ones benefit his toadies, because you’re right that he is the swamp.
Light kleptocracy? I guess we can hope for the best, but Trmp says “no price is too high to deport illegals”.
The word you are looking for is "slavery".
Elons lithium mines.
If you still think Democrats actually care about a potential mass deportation, ask yourself why Biden hasn't simply pardoned all undocumented immigrants.
Immigration offenses are federal crimes, the president can pardon federal crimes, and you don't actually have to be charged with anything or convicted to receive a pardon (see Nixon).
